If I had a single major project and bungled it as spectacularly as King, I'd be fired very quickly.

Think what you want, but KK has WAY more than building an arena on his docket.
He is the business head of 4 different sports franchises. He is the face of ownership of all of them. He is the guy responsible for hiring the guys that run each of those franchises and meeting with all those people on a regular basis to see that things are running smoothly, making sure they have what/who they need to be successful, and then deciding if those people are getting the job done.
Again, his position is all about the business side of things, and in that vein, I would think they have been relatively profitable, while contributing charity levels unmatched by other enterprises in town.
Yeah the arena thing is a mess, but he has had help from the city on that front. Also, he has marching orders from his bosses just as council and his mayorship have theirs from the citizens.
BB has joined SN already. LOL
